Ling Chen walked on foot, and arrived at the Sunrise City's western gate in less than half an hour. He walked in without any obstructions, and the city guards didn't even look at him. On the way, he didn't encounter any obstructions at all, and everything went so smoothly that he was a bit dumbfounded.
Wasn't this a bit too smooth?! Being surrounded by a large group of Japanese players, or being stopped by a large group of city guards didn't happen at all.
To NPCs, players were all the same no matter where they came from. As long as they didn't do anything that offended them, they wouldn't do anything. At the same time, there were all sorts of strange equipment in the Mystic Moon world, so it was impossible to tell which region a person came from from just their equipment. Unless Ling Chen revealed his name, appearance, or unique equipment, even if he walked past a group of Japanese players, he definitely wouldn't be recognized.
As such, Ling Chen swaggered into the Sunrise City. There were countless Japanese players who had walked past him, but none of them knew that the invader, Ling Tian, was right next to them.
Ever since the system announcement of Ling Tian's invasion sounded out, the Sunrise City had fallen into a state of chaos. Japanese players could be heard furiously cursing and yelling. Naturally, they were targeting Ling Tian. Not only had Ling Tian invaded, but he had also caused all of their EXP and Fame to decrease. This was an unforgivable humiliation!
"All players, unite! Find Ling Tian even if you have to dig 3 feet into the ground! We can't let him stay in our territory for more than a day! "
"Killing him would be letting him off too easily! He had to be captured alive! Hang him on the city gates as a warning! Let the whole world know what happens to those who offend Japan! "
"I heard that the 3 alliances have already started to move. I'm sure they'll be competing to kill Ling Tian. Heheh, if we destroy Ling Tian, we'll be able to help all of us vent our frustrations, and we'll be able to greatly increase our prestige. With the 3 alliances working together, even if Ling Tian grew 100 wings, he won't be able to leave alive. "
"He dares to offend Japan? He'll regret it for the rest of his life! "
…
As Ling Chen walked forwards, almost all of the players were talking about him, and the entire Sunrise City was in an uproar. Ling Chen inwardly coldly laughed as he coldly looked at the Japanese players. Their dressing style was similar to that of the Hua Xia players. Every one of them was full of anger and indignation, as if Ling Tian had killed their fathers. However, when he reached the center of the city, none of them could recognize that he was Ling Tian.
After asking a Japanese NPC for directions to the Sunrise City's Business Street, Ling Chen walked over.
Item Shops, Equipment Shops, Tailor Shops … The items sold here were similar to those in Azure Dragon City. The equipment had different names, but the stats were basically the same. As for potions and energy stones, they were exactly the same. Ling Chen walked into the pawn shop at the corner of the street, and casually pawned a few dozen low grade energy crystals. During the transaction, he exchanged a few words with the pawn shop owner, and then casually asked, "Sir, I have a question for you. Recently, I've been thinking of going to a place full of cherry blossoms for a vacation. Does sir know of such a place?"
After buying tens of energy stones at a low price, the pawn shop owner felt incredibly happy. Most players wouldn't even have enough energy stones for themselves, and would sell them for a high price. This was the first time he had met someone who was so generous as to pawn off tens of low-grade energy stones. Hearing Ling Chen's words, the pawn shop owner immediately smiled and nodded, "Oh! You're asking about a place filled with cherry blossoms? Young man, you're definitely like me back then, a person filled with romance. Cherry blossoms are the most beautiful flowers in the world. No matter if they're white or pink, looking at their petals makes you feel as if your soul is being cleansed. In many places in the East Ocean Continent, cherry blossoms are the flowers of many people's souls … "
When it came to 'cherry blossoms', the old man, who looked to be at least 70 or 80 years old, rambled on and on. Ling Chen patiently listened, then politely said, "In that case, sir, please tell me where the cherry blossoms are."
"There's a lot," the pawn shop owner replied. "There are at least a few hundred places in the East Ocean Continent where cherry blossoms are grown on a large scale. There are countless small areas where cherry blossoms are grown. For example, Mount Fuji, Snow Cherry Forest, Cloud Cherry Crossing, Rainbow Canyon … these places all have different types of cherry blossoms. Young man, I can tell that you like cherry blossoms just like me. In that case, if you have time, you should go to all of these places. Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. "
'I like cherry blossoms my ass!' Ling Chen inwardly smirked and pretended to think for a while before getting to the point, "Looks like sir knows a lot about cherry blossoms. That's right, I heard that in the East Ocean Continent, there's a place where there's snow all year round, and there's a lot of cherry blossoms there. Hmm … and the cherry blossoms there seem to have all bloomed. Does sir know of such a place? "
"Oh?" The pawn shop owner looked quite confused, "There's such a place? That can't be right … cherry blossoms usually bloom in early spring, and they like warm weather. If there's snow all year round, it should be a very cold place. Normal cherry blossoms wouldn't bloom in a place like that. "
"There's no such place?" Ling Chen looked quite confused and shocked … he had a general understanding of cherry blossoms, and it was just as the old man had said. However, the 'snowy valley under the cherry blossoms' in Su 'Er's information clearly referred to a place with cherry blossoms, snow everywhere, and winding mountains …
"Wait!" The old man suddenly thought of something, and his body trembled as he sat up from his chair. He stared at Ling Chen, "Young man, are you talking about … Celestial Cherry Valley?"
"Celestial Cherry Valley? What kind of place is that? Ahem … sir, you should know that I'm just a player, and I've only just arrived in the East Ocean Continent, so there are many things that I'm not familiar with, "Ling Chen said sincerely. Seeing his reaction, Ling Chen felt quite reassured … it seemed that there really was such a place. Moreover, it was most likely an incredible place. Otherwise, the old man's reaction wouldn't be so exaggerated.
The old man stared at him, then sat back down, "No wonder. There's no one in the East Ocean Continent who doesn't know about the Celestial Cherry Valley. The Celestial Cherry Valley is located in the extreme north of the East Ocean Continent. The weather there is extremely cold, and the ground there is covered with snow all year round. Moreover, the Celestial Cherry Valley is filled with cherry blossoms, and the cherry blossoms there are snow-white. Even in the cold weather, they bloom all year round and never wilt. Only the Celestial Cherry Valley fits your description. "
"The cherry blossoms there never wilt? How is that possible? "Ling Chen said in shock. This time, he wasn't faking his shock. Every flower had its own flowering period, and from what he knew, cherry blossoms' flowering period was very short, with the longest lasting being no more than 10 days … it was fine for them to bloom in cold weather, but it was impossible for them to bloom all year round.
"That's true." The old man nodded as a serious expression appeared on his face, "Because the Celestial Cherry Valley is where the great Cherry Blossom God Representative lives. Her existence causes her divine power to affect the cherry blossoms there, causing them to not only bloom in the cold, but also never wilt … just thinking about the scene of tens of thousands of flowers blooming in the white snow makes my heart melt. "
"Then where is the Celestial Cherry Valley? I definitely have to go and see that place! "Ling Chen said excitedly.
The old man looked at him and shook his head, "Young man, how can we mortals enjoy such a beautiful scene? The great Cherry Blossom God Representative is a holy emissary from the Moon Deities. She's powerful, pure, beautiful, benevolent, and strict. She's like the most beautiful cherry blossoms, untainted by the mortal world. The Celestial Cherry Valley she lives in is a holy land in the hearts of the East Ocean Continent's residents, and it's a place that can't be offended. If anyone enters there and angers the Cherry Blossom God Representative, not only will they be punished, but they will also incur the wrath of the East Ocean Continent's residents, and they might even banish them. Moreover, it's said that the cherry blossoms in the Celestial Cherry Valley, under the influence of the Cherry Blossom God Representative's divine power, have strange 'spirits'. They wander within the cherry blossom forest, and all creatures that go near them will be attacked by them … as such, young man, no matter how much you love cherry blossoms, don't go near there. I know that with your identity as an otherworlder, even if you die to the Cherry Blossom Spirit, you'll be revived. However, if you accidentally anger the Cherry Blossom God Representative, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
"Oh." Ling Chen slowly nodded his head, a look of regret on his face. He remembered the Celestial Cherry Valley's name.
After leaving the pawn shop, Ling Chen went to the Item Shop and bought a map of the East Ocean Continent.
Of course, the map he bought from the Item Shop wasn't as detailed as the one he had bought from the Qian Gungun. However, luckily, Ling Chen was able to see the words' Celestial Cherry Valley 'on the map. In the northernmost part of the map, there were only a few places that were marked with their names.
Ling Chen estimated the distance from the Sunrise City to the Celestial Cherry Valley, which was located in the extreme north, was about 400 to 500 kilometres. Even if the journey was smooth, it would still take a long time.
Celestial Cherry Valley … he hoped that was where Su 'Er's information was pointing him to. Otherwise, he would have wasted all this time!
Ling Chen closed the map and prepared to head north. At that moment, a loud announcement resounded in the sky.
"Ding … player 'Cruelty Ichinawa' has initiated the East Ocean Continent Region Announcement: I, Cruelty Ichinawa, hereby challenge the invader Hua Xia Ling Tian to a duel! The time will be 12pm, and the location will be the Sunrise City's Central Square! A fair duel to determine who is stronger and who is stronger, and to show off our East Ocean Continent's might. If Hua Xia's number one expert is a mere coward, then there's no need to come, hahahaha. "
Ling Chen stopped walking as a cold smile appeared on his face.
